Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to
indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
[I] What results in good health and longevity? [II] But since we can’t choose our parents, or know what
fate holds in store for us, we must treat lifestyle with tender, loving care. [III] Now, a report “Circulation”
proves that a sound lifestyle adds 12 to 14 more years to life. [IV] For instance, a woman, aged 50, who
follows these lifestyle rules can expect to live to 93 years. This compares to a woman who indulges in an
unhealthy lifestyle and dies at 79. In men, the increase in longevity from a healthy lifestyle is from 76 to 88
years.
In the general population, the U.S. spends more money on health care than any other country. So why
are so many people in North America suffering from ill health? It is quite apparent that the epidemic of
obesity, type 2 diabetes and heart attack will continue to be the big killers. At the moment there is little

evidence this battle is being won. But a study that followed both staff and students at the University of
Liverpool shows it’s not an impossible dream.
In its first experiment, female diners were randomly divided to receive either a small or large quiche for
lunch. The next day, the same group were all allowed to serve themselves any portion they desired.
Researchers discovered the ones who had been served the smaller portion, tended to choose the smaller
portion. A second experiment tested male diners and it produced the same result. In the third experiment
both sexes were included, but it was done one week later. This time diners were asked to look at various
photos of portion size and asked which looked normal. Those who were previously given the smaller
portions considered the smaller ones normal.
These studies showed that it is possible to shift people from what they think is a normal portion to what
is actually the proper amount to eat. And that the perception of what is normal lasts at least to one week
later.
Remember, a voyage of a thousand miles begins with the first step. The same philosophy applies to
longevity. So, gradually incorporate one thing at a time into your lifestyle. Don’t forget the importance of
smaller portions, add more fruits and vegetables, buy a pedometer to check the number of steps taken each
day, and to measure your progress, step on the scale every day.
